Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – May 6th 2025
Dear All,
Here it is, the first full week of May and that means Rumba on Wednesdays. Curiously, Rumba used to be spelled with a “w” (Wrumba”) like “wrestle” and “wrought”, but as that has no effect on or meaning for anything, we will let the topic drop, much like the silent “w” was dropped oh so long ago.
To remind the newbies, this is the easiest of all the Latin dances and at the same time it is the best for developing the technique that you will, one day, be using in all of those dances. So, come in May and learn this simple sensuous dance (along with the secrets of simplicity and sensuality), all of you.
And the oldbies will find ample opportunity to strengthen and subtlify (I know, not a real word, but it holds real meaning, so run with it) your skills. Good for the dancing, good for the body and good to look at. In a world that seems to be uglifying by the minute, we each of us owe it to our fellow human beings to try and reverse that public trend in our personal lives.
Of course, the Waltz will continue on Thursdays. If you missed last week, you can still join us as we will be reviewing the basics (which means we will be re-teaching them) and it will be easy to catch up. For the more advanced, we will make sure you have something to work on so that you will continue to develop at your own level. Win-win-win (the third win is for us, since we always enjoy your company in class).
Join us one and all. We look forward to this month’s dances as they are both of them such fun. Come learn how to dance and how to experience the fun of dancing. Trust us, it’s there.
Cheers,
Rick and Peggy Nixon
